Ensuring Excellence
and Opportunity

Raising the Standards and Widening the Saftey Net

The Liberty Partnerships Program (LPP) provides students enrolled in grades
5-12 with services designed to improve their ability to graduate from high
school and enter postsecondary education and the workforce.

The Need

As higher standards are implemented and student expectations
rise, students already at risk in the State’s high need/low performing schools
and districts will face additional pressures to perform.

What are the Challenges

Disparity between resources available to students in high-need
communities and high expectations for their performance.

Increased demand for high-quality academic interventions that
will close the performance gap among students.

Increased demand for innovative social interventions that will
reduce or eliminate the developmental impact of poverty on learners.
